Social Return on Investment (SROI) is a framework that measures the broader social, environmental, and economic value created by an initiative, compared to the investment made. It helps quantify impact in monetary terms by asking:
“How much social value was created for every rupee invested?”
Over the past 30 years, Saath has worked deeply in the urban communities of Behrampura, Vasna, and Juhapura, impacting over 3.8 lakh people. A third-party SROI study conducted by 4th Wheel assessed this long-term impact using participatory methods and international standards.
